Just saw on the news that in NY, we pay a state tax of $1.01 a gallon. Thats a bit excessive imho.
On Top Gear, they mentioned that they pay 67% of fuel cost in tax (said something like 67 pence of a pound per litre fuel cost goes to the government). I guess we aren’t so bad in comparison.
Yeah in that comparison I guess not…but this is America. As far as fuel taxes go we are paying out the ass. I realize other states pay alot also…but I know we have always been one of the highest.
ya but bull semen cost 23,000 pounds per liter
:lol: I guess someone else decided that the BBC channel is the only good TV on in the US on a Monday night.

My wife was in ohio this weekend. Said that reg was $3.04 a gallon with some discount card her sis had.

this is about taxes on gas? shit most people wont even pay over $1-2000 a year for taxes on gas. i just gave the fed $10,000 in income taxes last year. thats about 500 hours or about 3 months of working i did for free so uncle sam could get his cut. :bloated:
end thread, end any argument about gas prices in this country forever.
:bigclap:
Oh quitcherbitchin.
That’s from a year ago too.
but most of those people who live in those countrys don’t have to drive 30+ miles a day for work/school.
then move closer to where you work…
Most of those places also have extremely well thought out public transportation systems, which is a viable alternative.
EDIT: did you really just type “Countrys”???
Kuwait city here i come!
